Hakkûhbar is a Dutch parody group formed in 1996 by Bob Fosko. It is a parody of gabber culture, which was popular among Dutch youth in the 1990s. The group achieved several successes, including Gabbertje, which was certified platinum.
The group Hakkûhbar was founded by Bob Fosko, a member of De Raggende Manne, along with Bart Vleming, Ad de Feyter, and Ewart van der Horst. In their music videos and concerts, they were accompanied by actor Ruben van der Meer, who portrayed a young "gabber" in exaggerated parody form. Fosko and van der Meer met on the set of VPRO, participating in sketches for the children's show Erwassus, including De nieuwe Aussie van de Gabber (literally "the new Australian of the gabber," a parody of the story The Emperor's New Clothes, known in Dutch as Die nieuwe klere van de keizer).[2]
The group disbanded in 1997. A reunion would be "super" according to Bob Fosko, who was interviewed in April 2014. However, it is highly unlikely due to irreconcilable conflicts between some members over financial disputes that arose at the time of their dissolution.[2]
